I know Doc Rivers has been lavishing praise on Deandre Jordan since training camp about how impactful DJ would be/could be this season for the Clipps. To a certain extent, Deandre's been doin' that, averaging almost 13 rebounds per game and leading the league in total and defensive rebounds. Plus, he's in the top 5 for blocks, and been a big reason why the Clippers have started off the season so well.
On the other hand, Andray Blatche scored 75% of the time he decided to shoot it in the last 2 minutes of the 3rd quarter while being guarded by DJ.
Then again, no matter how solid your defense there, there are games where the guy or gal (i'm not hating on the lady ballers), you're sticking just seems to make everything. Basing this theory out of personal experience, as I have been scored by many a "Andray Blatch"-y kind of ballplayer while playing pickup. Its awful because although I didn't have an arena of people cheering when I got scored on, I know how it feels when the other team's old dudes (pierce, kg, joe johnson and deron williams) just keep giving the ball to the guy I'm guarding and then celebrating like they just won an NBA game. In the case of the Nets, they did, so good day for Dray; feel your pain Deandre.
